It's not an orange color or flash it's more of a light tan brown than anything.

Yeah my first batch of diamond x rili babies are now juvies and had 2 more hybrid batches hatch last week. There are many different types in terms pigment coverage. I have some that are tiger striped like blue tigers, some that are almost covered in black and some that are look like carbon rilis with erratic blue on the shell . I'm especially interested in the carbon rilis and the tiger stripes. I'm thinking of splitting the population into carbonish rilis, the original parentage coverage, and general population diversity. Looking at the tiger like hybrids, I wonder if I can come up with an exact duplicate of a blue tiger but in neo form? Time will tell. I'll post some pictures later today.

I put the net inside the bubbler and place the neck of the net on an angle on top of the tank.

Update 6/7

It's monsooning here in NY what a drag! So I found a wolf pack on the hunt for some yummy algae. Here you go enjoy!

Please pretty please with sugar on top and sprinkles and BBK shrimp on top?

Ask and you shall receive.

So you need a Poland spring bottle, airline, an airstone suction cups, and a spare net. I took a Poland spring bottle and cut the bottom. Next, I made a hole in the cap so the tubing can fit through snug and fit the airline with air stone inside the bottle. After that, make small holes around the neck of the bottle so that water from the tank can move in and out. With the suction cups, make a small holes so you can fit the nubs inside the bottle to hold it in place. Finally, connect the airline to the pump run it on full to medium aeration and there you have it my baby hatching machine.
